How it all began

 

   In 1998 rap and hip-hop were very popular in Bulgaria but I was still looking for something different, something more energetic and more aggressive in style. At that time my friends and I started going to techno parties at the well known club Indigo in Sofia, Bulgaria. Techno music was gaining popularity quickly and an increasing numbers of people visited clubs that played techno. I went to parties, at which world famous DJs mixed the music, almost every week. Eventually I realized that this was the style of music I've been searching for, which further inspired me to get even deeper into it.

   The more I listened, the more I started to notice the subtle differences between all the techno styles. Initially I was drawn to the heavier and faster hard techno. Later on I switched to hardcore only to return to hard techno and the occasional slower songs.

   One day I decided to buy a pair of high quality DJ headphones. I was addicted to techno and couldn't live without listening to its sounds around the clock 24/7. So, I absolutely needed a good pair of headphones.

   A year later, a friend from school mentioned that I can mix music on the computer without turntables. I found this very intriguing and a few months later bought a mixer. Somehow this setup was not working for me, as if something was missing. So the next year I bought two professional turntables.

   As time passed, I realized that techno and mixing have become part of me, it gave me strength and allowed me to feel free from the stress of everyday life.

The Project

 

   For a long time I thought about using "Aggressor" as my DJ nickname. I felt that it summarized perfectly not only my emotions, but also the style I liked. After chatting with DJ Balthazar I realized that this name had its shortcomings and did not reveal my full identity, but only part of it. Before my first big appearance I chose a name that would give a better idea of the music I was going to play. I thought about the times when I went to parties not knowing what to expect or being simply misled by the names of the DJs. There was also the fact that many DJs play different styles depending on the party and the crowd attending. As a result I decided to use two different aliases:
Peter Breeze -  my first name and Breeze, which symbolizes slower rhythm.
Peter Gale - my first name and Gale, which stands for faster and more aggressive rhythms.
